The Bucket List

"We live - We Die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.."
Jack Nicholson, The Bucket List.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but it's on the top of my to-do list for the month of January.
Some day when I get braver, and when I get some time, I will share my "Bucket List" with you.
It includes a lot of crazy things like: Playing guitar in a tight little jazz combo in some swanky night club, and running in a real marathon - all pretty far out, crazy goals - I know..
But, as I was looking back, I realized that the "List" of things that I have already done is far crazier than my "List" that continues to go undone.

I have tubed down a river in the rain forest of Central America.
I have snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef.
I went back to school after 25 years and earned a nursing degree
I have raise (helped raise) 5 children
I have been happily married to my High School sweetheart for 32+ years

However, before you accuse me of bragging, I must admit - I consider them all blessings and not acomplishments. They were not because I was so smart, they were all because I am so blessed.

Do you have a list? I would love to hear about it.
